Hailing from San Antonio Texas, the Hydrolic Sno-Men formed when two rebellious 14 year old cousins Jimmy Harrell and Stacey Freddie unhappy w/the "establishment" started a band. They recruited Shane Reeves and Ronnie Rodriguez from the caged-in smoking hut of East Central High School and the Sno-Men were ready to roll!
It was 1984 pre-grunge & their aggressive style of playing was not accepted by the mainstream. The fast distorted guitar along w/double bass drumming served up a rowdy feast and their songs screamed of usual punk fodder; Coming of Age, Rebellion, Suicide, Drugs, Revenge, God, Cars & of course Girls. Gigs often incited fights and destruction of property. Nonetheless, they quickly became local party favorites, spawned the Skate Society, interviewed & played frequently on San Antonio College Radio, landed on the Taco City Rockers compilation album and became San Antonio's opening act of choice for touring bands such as <a href="spotify:artist:1XHuz5CPN06XuVMdYWwkop" data-name="M.O.D.">M.O.D.</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6NB4b8lltHCjOhW7vQZkAy" data-name="The Exploited">The Exploited</a> & <a href="spotify:artist:34c4iQ5tkaZKu6Sv28BTde" data-name="Danzig">Danzig</a>.
